• Example Subj: A few minutes of your time needed: Mozilla Volunteer Survey

Dear Mozillians: We would appreciate *10 - 15 minutes* of your time to learn more about your experience as a Mozilla contributor. Please take this volunteer-focused survey (http://mzl.la/pCnv4Q) to help us make contributing to Mozilla better. This is the most important part of a contributor lifecycle audit that David Eaves is undertaking to assess the experience of volunteers within the Mozilla sphere. Please fill this out (http://mzl.la/pCnv4Q) if you are a current or past contributor to Mozilla by Friday, Oct. 21st.  We also encourage you to share it with fellow contributors or your local communities. Thank you!

The aim of our audit is to get a sense of why people do or don't get involved with Mozilla, why or why they don’t complete a project, whether or not they stay, how we can make this whole process better and more. David Eaves is working with Mozilla's Contributor Engagement team to provide a set of recommendations that will help Mozilla improve the contributor experience. This volunteer survey is the most important part of his research!
